PLEASE NOTE - WE DO NOT CATER FOR BRIDAL PARTIES.

OUR SPACE HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND CURATED FOR GUESTS WHO ARE IN NEED OF A GENTLE AND SLOW STAY.

THE COTTAGE IS BEST SUITED TO ADULTS.

The space
Step inside Hold Cottage and discover a light-filled home where country charm meets modern comfort. High pressed ceilings, original double-hung windows and beautiful natural light create a warm and welcoming space to relax and unwind.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a cooktop, oven, microwave and full-sized refrigerator, making it easy to prepare meals during your stay. You'll also find a Breville espresso machine, a beautiful selection of teas, complimentary breakfast provisions and a range of pantry staples to help you settle in.

Sink into luxurious comfort with MicroCloud quilts and pillows, dressed in premium linen sheets and quilt covers for a restful night's sleep.

The updated bathroom features a shower over bath, generous vanity, fluffy towels and eco-friendly hand and body wash, shampoo and conditioner.

No matter the season, Hold Cottage is designed for comfort. Enjoy ducted heating and cooling throughout, or cosy up beside the open fireplace during the cooler months. Curl up on the oversized sofa with a linen or wool throw, stream your favourite shows on the Smart TV with Netflix, connect to complimentary Wi-Fi, or switch off completely with our collection of books, magazines and board games.

Outside, there's plenty of space to enjoy the fresh country air. The large backyard is perfect for a game of backyard cricket, while the covered verandah, complete with BBQ and outdoor dining setting, is ideal for long lunches and relaxed evenings. As the sun sets, gather under the festoon lights in our outdoor entertaining area and, during winter, toast marshmallows around the fire pit beneath the stars.

For longer stays, the laundry includes both a washing machine and dryer, with a traditional Hills Hoist in the backyard for those who prefer drying clothes in the fresh country air.

As Hold Cottage is more than 100 years old, you'll notice all the character and charm that comes with a historic home. While we've thoughtfully updated it with modern comforts, a few imperfections remain—and we think they simply add to its story.

Other things to note
UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT ACCOMMODATE BRIDAL PARTIES OR DAY VISITORS.

Hold Cottage has been thoughtfully designed as a peaceful country retreat for up to four guests. The cottage is simply too small for additional guests, and our insurance and health and safety requirements limit occupancy to a maximum of four registered guests at all times.

No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. It is against Health Department Regulations for more persons to occupy a property than there are beds to accommodate them. At no time during your occupancy is the number of guests staying to exceed the number you booked for OR 4 guests in total (unless Hold Cottage provides prior approval). If evidence suggests that there is more than the booked amount of guests we reserve the right to either charge you for the extra guests OR evict all guests without a refund. The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay/visit.

Our home has been carefully restored and curated with high-quality furnishings and finishes to create a calm, beautiful space for guests to slow down, relax and reconnect.

While children are welcome, the cottage is best suited to adults seeking a quiet and restorative getaway.
